Playing in a 4-5-1 formation, Botafogo midfielders created numerous openings for Vinicius Alves Durante, the lone striker. But he was off the target most of the time and coach Felipe Arantes changed his strategy. Willian Alves de Oliviera, playing in the central midfield, was told to partner the lone striker upfront.

Botafogo finally scored in the 67th minute when Rafaels left-footer found the back of the net from the edge of the box. The angular shot foxed Avijit who thought the defenders would have cleared the ball.

In the 72nd minute, Avijit fisted away a powerful Durante right-footer. But Bruno was at the right place at the right time to prod the ball home.
